About - Travel Industry Solutions

THE TIS DIFFERENCE

The industry-first TIS solution was developed by a successful team of seasoned industry experts that include a highly-regarded, award-winning travel agency owner, a CEO with over four decades of experience in contracts and compliance, and a dedicated legal team of more than 190 members that have been practicing travel law for nearly a century.

WHAT WE ARE NOT!

We are NOT a template provider that leaves you on your own to interpret the law. Nor are we a standard contract attorney offering services that may not understand travel law compliance and, just as importantly, do not offer the supportive booking tools and scripts that come with the professionally developed TIS documentation solution.

About Us

It all began with a need.

I’m not the type of person anyone has ever referred to as a slacker.
I say this because, when I commit to something, I’m all in!

So, when I discovered the many resources I needed to create a profitable and sustainable travel business were nowhere to be found, I immediately developed processes and tools to fill those gaps. And when I used them in every aspect of my work, I quickly saw the benefit, and as a result, was able to grow my agency to $8M in two years.

It’s been said that success can be defined as finding a need and filling it!

Soon, as peers and suppliers began to notice the unprecedented speed of my agency’s success and to reach out to me, I realized how much others could benefit from the solutions I had put in place. This was the beginning of Travel Industry Solutions—the one and only company in the marketplace that helps travel advisors ensure legal compliance, increase efficiencies, manage details, and build relationships. These four keystones comprise all the resources I so desperately needed for my agency, but were not available in the travel industry—until now!
